Teachers Teaching

This is a list of the researchers, medical doctors, and other health professionals who I have been following, and learning from, in 2017. You can search for them on YouTube and find any number of interviews that will clarify their areas of expertise and hypotheses. I consider each of the people on this list to be examples of the next stage of medicine – they look at human health as a system, and have gone far above and beyond the tools and facts presented to them in their original, traditional medical training. If you wish to own your health – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual – I’d encourage you to check out any of these experts.
